Should I wait??

Oh thank you guys for responding!!!

And a big HEY to you, MickeyD!!!!!

I think you are right. I will go and love every minute of it. Even if everyone else doesn't.

So, does anyone know if there are fast pass machines that aren't connected? Or maybe we'll just try and do the rides with anticipated lines first??

Thanks for the tip about leaving after the soap. I mean, snow. Ooo, I love real snow.

How about some floating candles in the ROA? I also love candles.

Does anyone meet on a regular basis? I am hoping to see Fantasmic! but I don't think I can get the gang to go early and sit on their butts for hours. My Boy has never seen it .

Thanks again you guys for responding. All of you.

I am so excited to go. It's been since July I think. I also want to go to the Character Wharehouse. {goodness, I had to make sure I didn't accidentally spell out some other type of house....} and I wanna eat a lot of schtuff.

We are also going to Knotts'. {notice how I am not really worried about their crowds?} Anyone been? I have heard the parade isn't too much to write home about but I still want to see it. Also, if we run out of things to do I think I might see the ice show. Is that pretty?

sorry for rambling....just had a nice big cup of coffee

Well, the Boy still hasn't seen Fantasmic!.

I woke up Monday with the flu. Not a overwhelming case but I've been to Disneyland sickly and it isn't much fun.

We really wanted to get away regardless. So, instead we went to Knott's. I hoped it wouldn't be over crowded.

We weren't disappointed. It was not crowded at all. We saw the shows we wanted to and rode what we wanted to. No rushing, no bumping. No angry pushy people. No mad strollers. {although at DTD that night we did experience that}.

The only crowds were if you got stuck behind some of the small school groups that were wandering about. Very few of those.

The Boy and his friend had medallions made from one of the craft vendors. Really cool, the man made them right there, 'striking' them on the spot.

We stayed at a Hilton property, Homewood Suites? It wasn't as bright at the Embassy Suites {I would say because the ES has the atrium and these had inside corridor entry} but other than that it was quite comparable. {just thought I'd toss that out in case anyone needed a new place}.

I still feel sickly. Blech. Have too much to do to be sick but all I want to do is crawl back into bed.

At Knott's, I was okay. The casual walking about and uncrowded shows {althougth WHY did the lady with the stinky hotdog covered with mustard and onions have to sit next to me in the Mystery Lodge??? It was so uncrowded, why why why??? And she sat rightupagainst me. Didn't move because my group had sat down first and I didn't want to move them.}

Well, thanks ya'll for the tips...we still may go before the decorations are taken down, if we have a chance.
